Gibson ES-175 replacement saddle options

What is a "TOS" ?

Typo for TOM - Actually, in my tired end-of-the-day brain, it's a conflation of TOM and VOS... ( good catch, and I updated that!)

[QUOTE=Little Jay;1316673]I recognise that process of making a guitar your own! I have become better at it ovr the years and nowadays I don’t even hesitate to take a file and sanding paper to round off the fret board edges.

There has been some trial and error for me too, and if I can't do the work to a level I'd pay someone to do it or better, I won't do it... but as long as I can buy or MacGyver the right tools it usually turns out well. Fret work and wiring is my next home luthier skill to work on...on a junker guitar first of course.

Snow day yesterday kept me inside with my two year old. Can't play during nap time, so I cannabalized my old saddle, and fitted rosewood spacers to my bottom notched new saddle. Does it do anything tone wise? Don't know, but it looks nicer to me than exposed threads, and puts my DNA into the guitar (the bottom spacers are unfitted extras)
